Agria translates from Spanish as "sour, bitter, acrid". Also Agria (Greek: Αγριά) is a town and a former municipality in Magnesia, Thessaly, Greece. There are some different opinions about the town's name. Some believe that the name comes from wild olive trees Agrielies (Αγριελιές), or a small plant named "Agriada" (Greek: Αγριάδα), or the name originated from an ancient temple, which existed in the region and was dedicated to Agrea Dimitra (Greek: Αγραία Δήμητρα).
